HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
6 AUGUST 1998 MEETING
MINUTES
Commissioners Present:
John Greer, Chair Howard H. Gordon, Vice Chair
Judy Gardner Charles Marratt Mark Zoeller
Staff Present: V. Anne Guthrie Bruce Moore Tony Black
Guests: Rick Purifoy, Code Enforcement Missy McSwain, AHPP rep
The meeting of the Little Rock Historic District Commission (LRHDC) was called to
order. Roll call was taken; and as all commissioners were present (and a subsequent
quorum), the minutes from the previous meeting were approved.
The first Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application for consideration was:
Applicant: Second Baptist Church
Address: 619 Cumberland and 618 Rock streets
Request: Construction of parking lot
Since there was confusion as to the applicable plans and not sufficient information, a
motion was made and passed that the application be deferred until the next meeting.
The second COA to be considered was:
Applicant: Argie L. Austin
Address: 1402 Commerce
Request: Demolition of garage, north section
The applicant's son, Dennis, presented the request, which is to demolish the northern
portion of a structure utilized as a garage and located on the property's rear yard, along
the alley. The two -storied structure is connected by means of a common wall with the
southern portion, which is under separate ownership. The demolition of the south
portion was approved in 1994, but due to dual ownership of the structure, it was never
demolished. Rick Purifoy, code enforcement officer, stated that the roof collapsed into
the structure and is an unsafe building; the garage has been on the city's "Unsafe and
Vacant Structure" listing since 1993.
Included in the request was a chain link metal fence (already used in the rear yard's
fencing), to replace the area of the garage, thereby fully enclosing the rear yard. The
area to be fenced is the garage's site and is 38.1 linear feet (19.9' along the alley and
18.2' in the southwest corner). Discussion focused on the appropriateness of chain
link, but its use is dictated by the demolition, closing the gap, using the same material

Dear Mrs. Austin:
This letter serves as official notice that your application for a Certificate of
Appropriateness (COA) was approved by the Little Rock Historic District Commission at
its 6 August meeting. Enclosed is a copy of the signed COA application, which serves
as approval of your request for the demolition of the north section of the garage at 1402
Commerce. I know you look forward to its removal due to its poor and unsafe condition.
As discussed at the meeting and as you affirmatively agreed, the costs incurred for the
demolition is your responsibility as the sole applicant. Should you have questions, by
all means call me at 244-5420.
Respectfully,
V. Anne Guthrie
Historic Preservation Administrator
